Halifax Partnership and Halifax Connector

local network: Apply that chain to the workforce and it means that even people without a local network of their own could be only two or three introductions away from connecting with anyone they want, according to The Chronicle Herald. The Halifax Connector Program exists to get that ball rolling. Since the concept was first introduced in 1929, social networking and email have made that chain a lot easier to build and in Nova Scotia, it often takes only one or two of those links. Operated by the Halifax Partnership with support from the province and many other partners, the Connector Program helps newcomers, international students and recent graduates break into the Nova Scotia labour market by matching them to community and business leaders in their industry. Talent can be hard to find and we have a knowledge-rich community that includes international students and professionals with a lot of experience. Through a 30-minute meeting and referrals to three people in the connector network, connectees immediately begin to expand their network, confidence and opportunities. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
